PICKING
AT
THE PICKING MACHINE
Even the cameras came to the
picking machine.
Here we see a movie camera set up and in the background a
still
photographer looking for his next shot.
In the background you can see the leaf pickers at work and on the right
hand side at the end of the conveyor belt the area where the hops are
put into pokes for transportation to the oast house. There
would
either be a shut off mechanism or a "two poke hopper" to enable the
pokes to be filled constantly.
